TAWNY OWL
back in business at least there was something early to get us started which unfortunately didn't follow through at the

MOTH TRAPS

where ony BEETLEs were in evidence - there's a Poem there.
Some one came knocking at my wee, small door;
Someone came knocking; I'm sure-sure-sure;
I listened, I opened, I looked to left and right,
But nought there was a stirring in the still dark night;

Only the cricket whistling while the dewdrops fall,
So I know not who came knocking,
At all, at all, at all.
